By arguing with it, she's validating it. Like getting mad at a 5-year-old for calling you, "poopy face." Show's what a fucking moron she is.

Any 5-year-old who calls ME ‘poopy face’ is looking for a stomping.

This has never been in doubt.

What i dont get is this:

Even if i would share some of her (horrible) views, i would never vote for her, because i would never vote for such a complete idiot, no matter if she agreed with most of what i think. I never.would.vote.for.an.idiot.

Please tell me she does not get voted because her constituency doesnt realize she is such an idiot, because.... 

It’s perfectly plausible that they vote for her because they know she’s an idiot, not in spite of it. Like follows like.

There are a few paragraphs in Slaughterhouse Five that comment on the American Poor's self hatred and love the powerful, which is why the less well-off blame THEM for their plight but think HE will save them from the boogeyman.

19y old Syrian saves many people from crazy woman with knife. Doesn't make big headlines... For some reason, particularly on the AfD side of the spectrum.

Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made the announcement on X Tuesday in a video message with the Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Dr. Jay Bhattacharya and Federal Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Marty Makary.

“I couldn’t be more pleased to announce that, as of today, the COVID vaccine for healthy children and healthy pregnant women has been removed from the CDC recommended immunization schedule,” Kennedy said.

---

But Kennedy’s announcement comes before the CDC‘s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices has completed its deliberations on whether or not pregnant women should remain eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine.

The Committee was set to vote on the issue, among others, in June.

Multiple studies have stated that pregnant women are at an increased risk from COVID, going against Kennedy’s “common sense” claim that they don’t require vaccination.

One study conducted by researchers at Brown University School of Public Health showed that maternal mortality spiked at the peak of COVID in 2021.

“A 2022 Lancet study supports vaccine safety in pregnancy, showing no adverse outcomes,” it wrote. “Critics cite 2023 ACIP data indicating benefits across groups. Without direct HHS citations, the decision’s basis remains unclear.”

Healthy people are the ones who are SUPPOSED to get vaccines. Kennedy is not only a national disgrace, he’s promoting policies that are fast-tracking a national disaster.

Trump Tariffs Ruled Illegal by Federal Judicial Panel

The cases centered on the president’s use of a 1977 federal economic emergency law to issue many of his steep duties, including some of his tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China, and his “reciprocal” rates on much of the rest of the world, which Mr. Trump announced and then suspended in April.

The law does not specify tariffs as a tool available to the president to protect the United States from economic threats. But Mr. Trump has invoked its powers anyway, citing a need to take drastic action in response to a wide variety of urgent matters — including the flow of fentanyl into the United States, for example, and the country’s persistent trade deficit with much of the world.

---

It was not clear precisely when and how the tariff collections would grind to a halt. The decision gave the executive branch up to 10 days to complete the bureaucratic process of halting them. Shortly after the ruling, the Justice Department told the court that it planned to file an appeal.

We'll see if SCOTUS rides to his rescue or not. I get the impression that the more centrist conservatives on the court have tired of Trump's lawlessness.

Right-wing media figures are telling their audiences that proposed work requirements for Medicaid will be targeted at men who are unwilling to look for a job, when the actual population most likely to be affected is poor, rural women who are taking care of elderly parents or adult children.

---

It’s true that there is a group of people who qualify as able-bodied, nonworking Medicaid recipients without a young child who also aren’t enrolled in school. But contrary to conservative punditry, that population is overwhelmingly made up of women (79%), mostly living in rural areas, who are caring for elderly parents or adult children and have low levels of formal education and have recently left the workforce, according to new research from the University of Massachusetts Boston.
